Wyong Hospital redevelopment: Pictures and video reveal plan
A video fly-through and first pictures of plans for a major redevelopment of Wyong Hospital have been released giving the community a sneak peek of what’s to come.
Designs have been unveiled for the $200 million Wyong Hospital Redevelopment.
When complete, the redevelopment will increase the service capacity of the hospital with an additional building and a revamp of some existing areas.
There will be a new and enhanced Emergency Department; enhanced intensive care services; improved medical imaging; and an enhanced paediatric outpatient and short stay unit.
There will be more inpatient beds, increased operating theatre capacity, more carparking and increased medical day unit ambulatory service.
Members of the community will be able to learn more about the redevelopment and ask questions at a community drop-in session on Tuesday December 11, between 6pm and 7.30pm at Wyong Community and Youth Centre, 191 Wallarah Road, Kanwal.
The plans were revealed this week by Member for Terrigal Adam Crouch, Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast Scot MacDonald and Member of the Legislative Council Taylor Martin.
Mr Crouch said the designs gave the Central Coast community a first glimpse of the expanded infrastructure being delivered in the region.
“The $200 million redevelopment of Wyong Hospital will significantly enhance healthcare on the Central Coast, providing our community with greater access to services closer to home,” Mr Crouch said.
“With redevelopments at Gosford and Wyong, more than half a billion dollars is being invested into public hospitals on the Central Coast.”
Mr MacDonald said the designs would give the Wyong community an early look at the Hospital that will be serving them for the coming decades.
Mr Martin said the designs show that the redeveloped Wyong Hospital will be a first-class facility.
“The redeveloped hospital is an amazing facility that will feature the latest in technology for the comfort of patients, staff and visitors,” Mr Martin said.
